Hello everybody! I've been lurking on this section of the forum for awhile now reading everything I can about the V3I..I have two other machines, but I started out years ago with a Whites machine and have always missed having a Whites..So with the help of the tax refund, I decided to purchase one..Have Mercy what a detector!! I'm impressed! I don't think I will ever have to purchase another one or wonder if I'm missing anything.With everything I read on here, I had a real good understanding of the machine and felt confident using it.. I wanted to thank everyone for their contributions on the V3I..Hopefully one day I can master this fine machine..
